BONES IN THE DESERT.
& V BV ANKK C. LYNCH.
.Whore pilgrims seek the Pro] hot's tomb
Across the Arabian waste,
Upon the ever-shifting sands,
A fearful path is traced.
Far up to the horizon's verge,
The traveler secs it rise,
\ line of ghastly hones that bleach
Beneath those burning skie-.
Acro.-s it tempest and simoon
The desert sands have strewed,
But still that line of spectral white
Forever is renewed.
For while along that burning track
The caravans move on,
.‘•'till do the way-worn pilgrims fall,
lire yet the shrine he won.
Then the tired camel lays him down
And shuts his gentle eyes,
And then the fiery rider droops,
Towards Mecca locks, and dies.
They fall unheeded from the ranks :
On sweeps the endless train,
I>ul there, to mark the desert path,
Their whitening hones remain.
As thus 1 read the mournful tale
Upon the traveler's page,
• thought how like the march of life,
Is tills sad pilgrimage.
For every heart hath some fair dream.
Some object unattained.
An 1 far oil’ in the distance lies
Some Mecca to be gained.
But beauty, manhood, love and power
too in their rooming down,
And longing eyes and outstretched arms.
Tell of the goal unwon.
The mighty caravan of life
Above their dust may sweep.
I Car shout, nor trampling feet shall break
The r-st of those who sleep.
Oh fountains that 1 have not reached,
That gu-h far off e'en now,
When shall I quench my spirit's third
Where your sweet waters flow !
Oh Mecca of my life-long dreams,
C’oud palace’ that rise
In that far distance pierced by hope,
When will ye greet my eyes'!
The shadow? lengthen toward the Fast
From tUo declining sun,
And the pilgrim, as ye s* ill recede,
Sighs for the journey done.

AN AMERK Ats IN PARIS.
So, von desire an account of my Robin
son Cruso life in Paris, an 1 I shall proceed
to give it to you in plain prose, premising
only by the way that you seem to mo as
familiar with Parisian phraseology, as if
yon had been horn and bred au scptilmc of
a French Hotel Menbft. I, then, Henry
Colman, of lawful age. a citizen of the
TTnited Slates (hurrah for the thirteen stars
and stripes!), and for many years a subject
of her royal majesty, Queen Victoria (Hod
save the Queen-*), do depose and say, that 1
I reside in a street of Paris called La rue
Ckaussted 1 Antin, running from the Boule
vard* to St. Lazare, straight as an arrow,
clean, well built, full of fine shops, and i
magnificent hotels in court yards, and
crowded from early dawn to late at night,
1 had almost said until the return of dawn,
with carriages, chariots, omnibuses, chaises,
wheelbarrows, ladies and women (general
ly very handsome indeed), milkmaids,
laundresses, grisettes, Lorettes, chiffon- i
nieiv, fashionables, and Nortnandise, with
their muter fly caps: in short, one of the
most public, and one of ibe busiest, ami
one of the pleasantest streets in town. I
am in the fifth story—the lower floor is
not counted, and the entresol, or second
floor is not counted; L am mi quo trie me,
and mount six flight of stairs to reach my
resting place. Heing fat and “ pursy,”
and having very short legs, you may de
pend upon it f hnye often wished for some
elevating machine, by which the summit
could he reached without having to double
up my joints one hundred and thirteen times
—for that is the number ot stairs. Now
young and ethereal persons like yourself,
so gay, so transparent, so light of step,
would go up like a sparrow a whede flight
at a time. From my eyrie-nest 1 look down
upon the moving world with philosophic
composure, and breathe an atmosphere \
far superior to the grovelling sons of earth
below me —(ask the chemists if it is not so).
My nest, however, is very small. 1 have
but one small romn; three good closets: a
brick floor, which I like, because it saves
all noise, covered with a thick carpet; a
bed, long enough if 1 don’t grow any,
which I have concluded not to do tor the
present; a chest of drawers, surmounted
by a stuffed parrot in a glass case, who
looks very civilly at me, and says nothing,
though I feel occasionally quite embar
rassed at the closeness of his inspection ; j
bed, linen, covering, most clean and excel
lent: an open fireplace, with a moveable
grate, which 1 purchased, and in which 1
I bnrn dry wood and good coal; three easy
J chairs, and two with uptight backs, which
i I prefer, for fear of allecling the grace of
|my movements; and, lo crown the whole,
| three good sized mirrors—so tbnt, you see,
I I am never without company, though it is
only the reduplication of that of which
one sample is quite sufficient—certainly
one at a time. I breakfast in my own
chamber at nine; rise at half-past six ; get
very hungry before breakfast comes. The
servant brings my allowance of bread, but
ter, and cream. I boil my own tea-kettle;
make my own tea; buy my own sugar,
candles, etc; have the Daily News to read
in the morning—which sometimes, on ac
count of the ill-temper which it shows to
wards America and France, obliges me to
put more sugar than usual in my tea. fn
dishabille 1 wear a grey frock coat, plaid
waistcoat, grey trousers, silk neckcloth,
black slippers, occasionally varnished ; and
look very grave and wise, when raising
my head from the table, I let my spectacles
drop on the end of tny nose and comb my
few straggling grey hairs with my lingers,
presenting in such cases a very fine study
for an artist. 1 have a man servant for
my femrnc-dc-chambrc ; attentive to a fault,
full of good nature, and so willing to serve
me, that 1 take care never to call on him
for what I can do myself, and sometimes
almost frighten the cap off his head by my
frantic gesticulations, when 1 cannot make
him understand my French, though 1 un
derstand it perfectly myself. I stay in my
room, c.xtraordinaries excepted, always until
three o'clock : go sight-seeing; dine at an
English restaurant at five—can’t live at a
French caft —dislike the French cooking—
don’t know whether you are eating frog,
cat or baby: evening with friends or at the
theatre, rarely at home; get sleepy at
eleven; crawl to bed at twelve o'clock;
think of my dear friends in America
and England : sigh so hard as almost to
untuck the bed clothes; wish them ail
kinds of blessings; fancy I seelhem : never
kneu T 1 loved them half so much; pray for
them, and dream about them; sleep quiet
ly six hours ; try not to let the sun get up
before me; though I confess, to my shame,
l sometimes find him peeping into my
chamber to see if I am awake; feel dread
fully about my sins always when I first
wake, and try to quiet the pangs of con
science by a strong dose of good resolu
tions: think again of my dear frinds; thank
(Sod from the bottom of tny soul for his
mercies; and wonder why lam not a poor,
miserable,, outcast, shivering,starving, na
ked Irishman, or beggar, as hundreds of
others, whose claims seem as good asmine;
and am amazed that 1 have education, cha
racter, plenty to cat and drink, so much to
make me happy, and, above all, friends,
friends who love me, hut who cannot
love me half so well as 1 love them.—
But this wont do. 1 open niy eyes;
spring out of bed; take my cold bath :
raise the window to breathe the cordials,
the fresh and fragrant air of the morning;
and go again loa succession of labors and
enjoyments. I con hi not afford two rooms.
I pay thirty-five francs a month, and ten
francs for service. My breakfast and tea
cost me—l don’t know what—though an
egg, for example, is five sous, and a small
roll of bread, of which one can eat two,
costs three sons. Tea is dearer than in
England: sugar and candles cheaper;
wood is sold by the pound, so is coal, and
are both dear, though my fuel has not cost
me more than in England, because of more
economy in the use of it; dinner of roast
beef, potatoes, apple-pie, cheese, bread, |
and half a bottle of wine, are half a crown.

TORTURING AN AUTHOR.
One of Dr. Beattie's correspondents tells
of a scene of torture where Campbell was
the victim; and lloheniinden thesubjcctof
conversation.
“ Campbell,” said one of the party, “you
poets deal in hyperbole, but surely you ex
ceed all license when you say—
‘ An;l louder than the butts of heaven
Far Bashed the led artillery.’
If their flash was so loud, what must have
been their report T’
Campbell was fool enough not to answer a
fool according to liis folly ; when another
j of the company interfered—
’ Then shook the hills, with thunder riven !
Then rushed the steed, to battle driven!’
Oh, what a falling oil is there!”
“ How could 1 help it !” said the poet,
somewhat moved. “The battle began
with a general discharge of artillery along
the whole line : and then, amidst the ob
scurity of the smoke, the cavalry made
their attack on the broken ranks of the en
emy.”
“Well parried, but—
‘ Wave, Munich, all thy banners wave,’
is Milton’S.”
‘'Oh, I know to what you allude.” said
Campbell, sharply—
‘ Wave
Your tops, ye pines, in sign of worship, wavs.’
Is that a fault ?”
“Well, let that pass; hut were your
soldiers buried feet downwards ; and what
was the size of the turfs that covered them 7
for you say—
‘ And every turf beneath his foot
ishall be a soldier’s sepulchre.’
This cruel banter, in which it could not
be determined how much was jest, how
much was earnest, at last irritated and pro
voked the poet. He made an effort to leave
the room, hut seems to have controlled his
temper. A lady present said—
“ Come, dear Mr. Campbell, kindly un-
I dersland and forgive these thoughtless jo-
I kern; hail they not prized the poem, it
aoiEiaii© 9 ©aiiiiio
would not have stuck so fast in their mem
ory.”
The hilarity of the evening was not how
ever restored. —Dublin University Mag.

A BEAUTY IN DISGUISE,
A correspondent of the New \ork Mir
ror, writing from Saratoga, details the fol
lowing rash and culpable adventure, on the
part of a young beauty of a neighboring
State:
A most singular and exciting instance of
female eccentricity and daring recklessness
lias just transpired here, to the equal
amusement and amasement of all. Some
ten days since there arrived in the South
ern tiain, and took lodgings at the Union
Hall, a youth apparently about 18 to 20
years old, of singular beauty, with raven
locks, a sparkling black eye, a complexion
in which the lily and the rose seemed viv
idly striving for the supremacy, a voice of
silvery tone and mellow richness, and an
ease, maturity and brilliancy of mannetal
together unusual in a male so young, and
which attracted attention and excited uni
versal admiration. In short, he appeared
to be one of those specimens of boyhood,
upon which nature is sometimes so lavish
in the hestovvmcnt of her gifts, and which
arc as rate as they are pleasing and attract
ive; combining all the delicacy and rich
ness of female beauty, precociousness of
mind and manner, equally marked and un
usual.
With a bold, yet by no means rude fa
miliarity, he soon made the acquaintance
of mothers and misses, who seemed alike
captivated with the young charmer, and
courted his attention with jealous rivalry;
the former confiding in his youth as a pro
tector to their daughters, and the latter sub
dued and enraptured by the beauty of
his person and the elegance of his dress.
In the ball room, with his fashionable
dress coat buttoned to the chin, his sym
metrical limbs, his contracted waist, his
round, full chest, his delicate hands and ti
ny feet, as he moved with exquisite elas
ticity and grace through the dance, all eyes
and many hearts were fastened with lavish
intensity. After thus rioting a week amid
the most extravagant affections of their
captivated daughters, the young ‘ Uriah
Baden,’ as he hooked himself, suddenly dis
appeared.
From a fear of detection, or some other
cause, he retired to the neighboring village
of Ballston, and entered the National Law
School there as a pupil, under the pretence
that his parents would he on in a day or
two with the hulk of his baggage. Struck
with his appearance, and the ease and the
eloquence of his conversational powers,
the President, J. W. Fowler, Esq., assign
ed him at once a performance in off hand
speaking, which with the trial and argu
ment of causes, form a prominent part in
the exercises of the Institution, fn this
his speaking capacities were put to a test
too severe for a matter of mere amusement;
and dreading an exposure which the pres
ence of the hundred young gentlemen con
nected with the school might effect, and
certainly would render most embarrassing
and fearful, lie again took French leave,
returned to this place, and stopped at one
of the minor hotels, where he spent the
night before last in silent seclusion, as if
reflecting on the error of his ways.
During his former visit he had coquetted
with the fair ones, and made three or four
solemn protestations of love, which had
awakened a delicious hope in as many tin
suspicious hearts. Hence the news of his
return led to many eager hut unsuccessful
inquiries for his whereabouts.—Yesterday
morning there arrived here a fine looking,
middle aged gentleman with his lady, in a
state of anxious excitement, having traced
their errant daughter at length to the thea
tre of her comic-tragic adventures; and be
ing directed lo herhiding place, they sought
her rooms, tore off her male disguise, and
last evening left for their home in New
Jersey, with as sweet and beautiful a look
ing daughter as ever graced the proper ha
biliments of her sex, with nothing to dis
tinguish Iter from them but her exquisite
persona! charms and shortened locks,
which, to comple the illusion, she had
cropped and subjected to the hand of the
barber. As to the cause of this strange
adventure of the young girl, the sad, un
approachable silence of the parents forbids
inquiry, and the affair ended as it began—
a mystery.
AN APOLOGY.
When John Clarke (Lord Eldon) was at
the bar, lie was remarkable for the sang
fro id with which he treated the Judges.
On one occasion, a junior counsel, on hear
ing theit lordships give judgement against
his client, exclaimed that ‘he was surprised
at such a decision !’ This was construcd
into contempt of court, and he was or
dered to attend at the bar next morning.
Fearful of the consequences, he consulted
his friend John Clarke, who told him to be
perfectly at ease, for he would apologize for
him in a way that would avert any un
pleasant result. Accordingly, when the
name of the delinquent was called, John
rose, and coolly addressed the assembled
tribunal: ‘ l am very sorry, my lords, that
my young friend has so far forgot himself,
as to treat your honorable bench with dis
respect: he is extremely penitent, and you
will kindly ascribe his unintentional insult
,to his ignorance. You must sec at once
that it did originate in that, lie said he
was surprised at the decision given by
your lordships! Now if he had not been
j very ignorant of what takes place iu this
court every day—had he known you but
half so long as I have done, he would not
be surprised at amj thing yon did !’

A FLO WEI! IN THE DESERT.
Here isa beautiful incident, related by an
officer at Matamorns in a letter to a friend
in Providence, which reminds us that
“ In tho desert there still is a fountain,
In the wide waste there still isat e,
And a bird in the solitude singing.”
Our army were marching into Malamo
ras, and the officer writes : “Under a tree,
just on the river.bank,-mid at the point
where the bustle and throng of the passage
were the greatest, a kttnily of Mexicans
had taken shelter, who had recrossed to
our side the day before, and had not had
time to move their hones. There, were
some six or eight children of various ages;
one of these, a beautiful black-eyed, grace
ful little creature, of five or six years. I
saw her, while tumult and toil of all des
cription rang around, while arms were
flashing, cannon rolling, men hurrying to
and fro, horses dashing at wild speed, the
air filled with shouts and oaths, and all was
as if quiet and peace were banished from
the earth, half sitting, half lying upon a
grassy knoll, her head testing upon a white
pet dove, and one little arm thrown around
the bird as if to protect it from all harm.
What a lesson is taught here! What a pic
ture for the painter and the poet!—See in
nocence personified ki that sweet child!
See l’cace represented in that beautiful
dove ! How they stand out, the bright, the
glorious figures in that scene where War.
with its array of banners and marshalled
men, and gaudily dressed officers on capar
isoned horses fresh from the battle-field,
their hearts filled with the swelling
thoughts of the victory they have won, and
all glowing with the ambitious desires that
became the heroes they have shown them
selves to be—how that sweet child and
beautiful dove shine with the light, that is
from heaven in that scene, where war fills
up and darkens all the back ground.
FELICITOUS CRITICISM.
Old Kit North is the botn king of all crit
ics. In the Dies IJorea/es, No. Iff, one
of Alison’s stupidities on % irgil being
under consideration,, Seward asks the
meaning of “ rerum “ in Virgil’s
••—rerum facta cst pukherriraa Iloma.”
North. “ Rerum,,’ what docs he mean
by “Reram'?” Let me perpend. Why,
Seward, the legitimate meaning of Res
here is a State—a Commonwealth. “The
fairest of Powers, then, of Politics, of
States.”
Seward. Is that all the word means
here !
North. Why, methinks we must ex
plain. Observe, then, Seward, that Home
is the Town as England is the Island.—
Thus “ England has become the fairest a
mong the Kingdoms of the Earth.” This
is equivalent, good English ; and the only
satisfactory and literal translation of the
Latin verse. But here, the physical find
l’olitcal are identified,—that is, England.
England is the name at once of the Island,
of so much earth limited out on the surface
of the terraqueous globe, and of what be
sides ? Os the inhabitants ? Yes'? but of
the inhabitants (as the King never dies)
perpetuated from generation to generation.
Moreover, of this immortal inhabitation,
further made one by blood and speech,
laws, manners, and everything that makes
a people. In short, England, properly the
name of the land, i- intended to he, the
name of the Nation.
“ England, with all thy faults. I love Thoe still.”
There Cowper speaks to botli at once, the
faults are of the men only, moral, for he
does not mean fogs, and March East winds,
anti fever and agues I love thee, is to the
green fields and the white cliffs, as well as
to all that still survives of the English
‘heart and thought md character. And
; this absorption, sir, and compenctration of
! the two ideas, land into people, people in
j to land, the exposition of which might, in
! good hands, he made beautiful, isa fruitful
j germ of Patriotism, an infinite blending of
j the spiritual and the corporeal. To Virgil,
Rome the city was also Rome the Romans :
and, therefore, sir, those Houses and Pala
ces, and the Wall, were to him, as those
green fields, and hills and streams, and
j towns, and those cliffs are to us. The
girdled-in compendium of the Heaven’s
Favor and the Earth’s Glory and Power.
“ Scillicctet Rerun: facta et pnlcherririußmna,
Septomque una sibi mure cin umdedit aces.’’
Do you all comprehend and adop. my ex
planation, gentlemen 1
TaJboys. I do.
Roller. I do.
Seward. 1 ask myself whether Virgil’s
“Rerum Pulcherrima” may not mean
•• Fairest of things, of Creatures, of earth
:ly existences? To a young English read
ier, probably that i< the first impression.
It was, I think, mine. But fairest of
earthly States and Seats of Slates is so
much more idiomatic and to the purpose,
j that I conceive it, indubitable,
j North. You all remember what Hora
tio sayelh to the soldiers in Hamlet, on the
j coming and going of the Ghost.
“ Id the most high and palmy .-fate of Rome,
I A little ere the mightiest Julius fell,
j The graves stood tennntlese, ami the sheeted dead
Did squeak and gibber in the Homan streets ;
Stars shone with trains of fire, dews of blood fell;
Disasters veiled tho sun, mid the moist star
Upon whoso influence Neptune’s empire stands,
Was sick almost to Doomsday with eclipse.**
What .loes Horatio mean by high And
palmy state? That Home was in a flour
ishing condition !
Fuller. That, I believe, sir, is the com
mon impression. Hitherto it has been
mine.
North. Let it be erased henceforth and
for ever.
Fuller. It is erased, I erase it.
North. Read henceforth and for ever
High and palmy Slate with a towering
Capital. Res! “Most high and palmy
State” is precisely and literally “Rtrum
Pulcherrima .”
There, that is what we call the criticism
of a genius. If modest old Virgillius Ma
to, or even genial Will himself ever glow
ed all over more luminously and sparklingly
with lambent, phosphoric, snapping and
crackling electricity, we hope to he struck
with lightning. Such a’critic is the verymulti
plication table of genius, but 0 what a
millstone to grind common place, mediocity
and stupidity to powder! —Botson Citron

THE SHADOW OF AN ASS.
The Greeks had a proverb which ran
tints: “To dispute on the shadow of an
ass.” This took rise from an anecdote
which Demosthenes is said to have related
to the Athenians, to excite their attention
during his defence of a criminal, which
was being but innattentively listened to.
“ A traveler,” he said, once went from
Athens to Mcgara on a hired ass. It hap
pened to he the time of the dog-days, and
at noon, lie was much exposed to the
unmitigated heat of the sun, and not find
ing so much as a bush under which to
take shelter, lie bethought himself to de
scend from the ass, and seat himself under
its shadow. The owner of the donkey
who accompanied him, objected to this, de
claring to him that when lie let the animal
the use of its shadow was not included in
tiie bargain. The dispute at last grew so
hot that it got to blows, and finally gave
rise to an action at law. “After having
said so much, Demosthenes continued tiie
delence of his client.; but the auditors
whose curiosity he had piqued, were ex
tremely anxious to know how the judges
decided on so singular a cause. Upon
this, the orator commented severely on
their childish injustice, in devouring with
attention a paltry story about an ass's
shadow, while they turned a deaf ear to a
can e in which the life of a human being
was involved. From that day, when a
man showed a preference for discussing
small and contemptible subjects, to great
and important ones, he was said “to dis
pute on the shadow of an ass.”
Ice at Lima. Ice is a necessaty of life
at Lima, and is brought from the Cordil
leras, a distance of 28 leagues. So essential
in that climate is this refreshment, that a
lack of it for a few days is sufficient to
cause a notable ferment among the people,
and in all revolutions, therefore, the
leaders cautiously abstain from applying
the mules used for its carriage to any other
purpose. Thejndians saw the ice out of
the glaciers in lumps of 150 pounds each,
and lower it from the mountains by ropes.
Ollier Indians receive it and carry it to a
depot, where it is packed upon mules.—
Two lumps form a mule load, and are sent
daily to Lima, where they arrive in eigh
teen or twenty hours. During the journey
the ice loses a third of its weight : and
what remains is sufficient to supply the
city for a day. It is chiefly used in mak
ing ices, composed mostly of milk, orpine
apple juice.
